Up early to be home in time to make breakfast for the family. I combined portions of three different runs including MM 2-10.5. I could tell the air quality still wasn't great but I pushed the pace a little and did two miles mixed in faster. Didn't see a whole lot of people but did run into Robin and some of your friends and spoke with her briefly. Overall happy with the pace for the effort. Mi 21 Avg. 7:18 HR 152

Nice run this morning Adam and good job finishing off a great week.

Hey, you beat me on the mileage board! And so I shall challenge you two a mileage duel the next 2 weeks!

Jeff and Clyde, Thank you. It feels great to be able to run what I want again without worrying about limping the rest of the day.

Jon, There is just something too ominous in that challenge. Considering I still have the promise to my wife not to go over 80 until after the New Year, something tells me you are going to win that challenge.

Nice run! And all before breakfast, impressive.

Nice running Adam well done.

I really think you should reconsider and accept my challenge for this week, Adam ;)
